Here's a webpage that will allow you to access sample test items from the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) standardized tests for common core standards: http://www.smarterbalanced.org/assessments/practice-and-training-tests/
Go there and skim the text on the page, then click on "Go to the tests," sign in as a guest and try taking one of the sample training tests.
Be ready to respond to these questions:
a.) Which of Stiggins' four assessment methods are being used?
b.) What is being tested?
c.) Based on these items (a very limited sample, to be sure) what is the purpose of this assessment?
d.) Who, if anyone, is favored by the structure and content of the test?
